HOLMFIRTH (Summer Wine) BRANCH LINE (Rural Railway Series RR01)

Homlfirth was, in its genesis, little more than a northern industrial textile town, despite the fact that it nested in some stunningly beautiful countryside. By the mid-1960s many of the mills had gone out of business and the short branch railway had closed in May 1965. Then, something rather unusual happened that would change Holmfirth for ever. On 4th January, 1973 the first ever Last of the Summer Wine programme hit the TV screens. 3 colour and 101 mono illustrations.
